Both Privi Partisan abd Fiocchi manufacture good quality 7.63 Mauser ammo for the C96, as previously stated, it is very important not to use 7.62x25 Soviet Tokarev ammunition in a C96. The 7.62x25 is loaded to muchhigher pressure and is unsafe in a C96. Some C96's have been converted to 9mm. This is in addition to the originally manufactured 9mm C96 guns. These conversions were popular when C96s were imported from Red China in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Some of these guns were also refurpished and refinished. Some shoot well, some don't. A friend of mine has one that converted and refinished, and althought a beautiful gun, it is terribly inaccurate. This gun is now a useless safe queen.
